I totally get the concept of "you can't go back ..." but still, I fondly recall my early days as a racing fan heading to Pimlico and maybe after the races walking over to The Pimlico Hotel, a snazzy supper club where all the racing luminaries hung out.
The Pimlico Hotel was chased out of that neighborhood in the mid-1980s by the rampant crime and rundown conditions of adjacent establishments.
Who in their right mind thinks the proposed plan for Maryland racing has one iota of a chance for success?
My bet is that five years from now (May of 2029) that a "new Pimlico" is languishing -- still incomplete and at least 10 times over budget -- with numerous city officials involved in its planning indicted for kickbacks.
Welcome to Baltimore, Hon!
